Here is a great resource. They use a lot of slang so look under prods and make sure its for the pc when you grab it. People still code c-64 and amiga demos to this day. No really !

Indeed, making proper demos and intros (demos with very restrictive size limitations, usually 64 or 4kB) seems to be limited to europe.

Fun thing about making demos is that there is basically no limitations outside your imagination and/or skills.
There is simply no right or wrong way to go or do, there's just open canvas which you are to explore.

There are 'art' demos and those which are most technically oriented, but there are no limits what you can do with it.
Basically demo can be as simple as hello world! or complex as hell and might hold some interactive elements. (sadly underused feature.)

We did demos mostly between 486-pentium3? times meaning pure CPU demos and for DOS.
First starting with Pascal moving to pure ASM and then to C.
(group was/is Halcyon)

Yes, Andromeda in all it's configurations has made some sweet demos during a very long time and those guys usually know how to do something looking good.
Sadly they did some ugly looking stuff in that demo. (mostly horrid SSAO which ruined many scenes for me)

You were in Halcyon ? What year was this. Didnt you guys do some crack intros as well ? That name rings a bell and loudly.

Ran rather well for me, 1920 x 1200 all options maxed. Didn't look that impressive imo.

The demo I really want to see is that ATi one with Ruby fighting a gian robot... was it for the 4800 cards? 3800? Regardless, don't think they ever released a full executable for that demo. Would love to see that, and how it performs, on my 5770.

That demo didnt impress you ? I wow. I think the machine transformation sequences were stunning and then the pan back after that to reveal that it was just a small maze...
